2 Samuel 21

1And there was a famine^H7458 in the days^H3117 of David^H1732 three^H7969 years^H8141, year^H8141 after^H310 year^H8141; and David^H1732 sought^H1245 the face of^H6440 Jehovah^H3068. And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559, It is for Saul^H7586, and for his bloody^H1818 house^H1004, because he put to death^H4191 the Gibeonites^H1393. 2And the king^H4428 called^H7121 the Gibeonites^H1393, and said^H559 unto them (now the Gibeonites^H1393 were not of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, but of the remnant^H3499 of the Amorites^H567; and the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 had sworn^H7650 unto them: and Saul^H7586 sought^H1245 to slay^H5221 them in his zeal^H7065 for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 and Judah^H3063); 3and David^H1732 said^H559 unto the Gibeonites^H1393, What shall I do^H6213 for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement^H3722, that ye may bless^H1288 the inheritance^H5159 of Jehovah^H3068? 4And the Gibeonites^H1393 said^H559 unto him, It is no matter of^H5973 silver^H3701 or gold^H2091 between us and Saul^H7586, or his house^H1004; neither is it for us to put any man^H376 to death^H4191 in Israel^H3478. And he said^H559, What ye shall say^H559, that will I do^H6213 for you. 5And they said^H559 unto the king^H4428, The man^H376 that consumed^H3615 us, and that devised^H1819 against us, that we should be destroyed^H8045 from remaining^H3320 in any of the borders^H1366 of Israel^H3478, 6let seven^H7651 men^H582 of his sons^H1121 be delivered^H5414 unto us, and we will hang them up^H3363 unto Jehovah^H3068 in Gibeah^H1390 of Saul^H7586, the chosen^H972 of Jehovah^H3068. And the king^H4428 said^H559, I will give^H5414 them. 7But the king^H4428 spared^H2550 Mephibosheth^H4648, the son^H1121 of Jonathan^H3083 the son^H1121 of Saul^H7586, because of Jehovah's^H3068 oath^H7621 that was between them, between David^H1732 and Jonathan^H3083 the son^H1121 of Saul^H7586. 8But the king^H4428 took^H3947 the two^H8147 sons^H1121 of Rizpah^H7532 the daughter^H1323 of Aiah^H345, whom she bare^H3205 unto Saul^H7586, Armoni^H764 and Mephibosheth^H4648; and the five^H2568 sons^H1121 of Michal^H4324 the daughter^H1323 of Saul^H7586, whom she bare^H3205 to Adriel^H5741 the son^H1121 of Barzillai^H1271 the Meholathite^H4259: 9And he delivered^H5414 them into the hands^H3027 of the Gibeonites^H1393, and they hanged^H3363 them in the mountain^H2022 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068, and they fell^H5307 all seven^H7651 together^H3162. And they were put to death^H4191 in the days^H3117 of harvest^H7105, in the first^H7223 days, at the beginning^H8462 of barley^H8184 harvest^H7105. 10And Rizpah^H7532 the daughter^H1323 of Aiah^H345 took^H3947 sackcloth^H8242, and spread^H5186 it for her upon the rock^H6697, from the beginning^H8462 of harvest^H7105 until water^H4325 was poured^H5413 upon them from heaven^H8064; and she suffered^H5414 neither the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064 to rest^H5117 on them by day^H3119, nor the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 by night^H3915. 11And it was told^H5046 David^H1732 what Rizpah^H7532 the daughter^H1323 of Aiah^H345, the concubine^H6370 of Saul^H7586, had done^H6213. 12And David^H1732 went^H3212 and took^H3947 the bones^H6106 of Saul^H7586 and the bones^H6106 of Jonathan^H3083 his son^H1121 from the men^H1167 of Jabesh-gilead^H3003, who had stolen^H1589 them from the street^H7339 of Beth-shan^H1052, where the Philistines^H6430 had hanged^H8511 them, in the day^H3117 that the Philistines^H6430 slew^H5221 Saul^H7586 in Gilboa^H1533; 13and he brought up^H5927 from thence the bones^H6106 of Saul^H7586 and the bones^H6106 of Jonathan^H3083 his son^H1121: and they gathered^H622 the bones^H6106 of them that were hanged^H3363. 14And they buried^H6912 the bones^H6106 of Saul^H7586 and Jonathan^H3083 his son^H1121 in the country^H776 of Benjamin^H1144 in Zela^H6762, in the sepulchre^H6913 of Kish^H7027 his father^H1: and they performed^H6213 all that the king^H4428 commanded^H6680. And after^H310 that God^H430 was entreated^H6279 for the land^H776. 15And the Philistines^H6430 had war^H4421 again with Israel^H3478; and David^H1732 went down^H3381, and his servants^H5650 with him, and fought^H3898 against the Philistines^H6430. And David^H1732 waxed faint^H5774; 16and Ishbibenob^H3430, who was of the sons^H3211 of the giant^H7497, the weight^H4948 of whose spear^H7013 was three^H7969 hundred^H3967 shekels of brass^H5178 in weight^H4948, he being girded^H2296 with a new^H2319 sword, thought^H559 to have slain^H5221 David^H1732. 17But Abishai^H52 the son^H1121 of Zeruiah^H6870 succored^H5826 him, and smote^H5221 the Philistine^H6430, and killed^H4191 him. Then the men^H582 of David^H1732 sware^H7650 unto him, saying^H559, Thou shalt go^H3318 no more out with us to battle^H4421, that thou quench^H3518 not the lamp^H5216 of Israel^H3478. 18And it came to pass after this^H310, that there was again war^H4421 with the Philistines^H6430 at Gob^H1359: then Sibbecai^H5444 the Hushathite^H2843 slew^H5221 Saph^H5593, who was of the sons^H3211 of the giant^H7497. 19And there was again war^H4421 with the Philistines^H6430 at Gob^H1359; and Elhanan^H445 the son^H1121 of Jaareoregim^H3296 the Beth-lehemite^H1022 slew^H5221 Goliath^H1555 the Gittite^H1663, the staff^H6086 of whose spear^H2595 was like a weaver's^H707 beam^H4500. 20And there was again war^H4421 at Gath^H1661, where was a man^H376 of great stature^H4067, that had on every hand^H3027 six^H8337 fingers^H676, and on every foot^H7272 six^H8337 toes^H676, four^H702 and twenty^H6242 in number^H4557; and he also was born^H3205 to the giant^H7497. 21And when he defied^H2778 Israel^H3478, Jonathan^H3083 the son^H1121 of Shimei^H8092, David's^H1732 brother^H251, slew^H5221 him. 22These four^H702 were born^H3205 to the giant^H7497 in Gath^H1661; and they fell^H5307 by the hand^H3027 of David^H1732, and by the hand^H3027 of his servants^H5650.
